Another Vermonter I got the chance to interview was Hannah Hauser. Hannah is the Program Coordinator of a group called SafeSpace Vermont out of Burlington. According to their website,

SafeSpace is a social change and social service organization working to end physical, sexual, and emotional violence in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) people. We provide information, support, referrals, and advocacy to LGBTQQ survivors of violence and offer education and outreach programs in the wider community.

Hannah has a rough job - dealing with survivors of violence can take an emotional toll on you. I have great respect for her and what she does.

When I met her I was taken aback at how incredibly friendly and sweet she was. Hannah has that kind of personality I just click with and I had a great time talking with her both before, during, and after the interview. It made me like Vermonters even more!

I hope you like this interview - I think it’s an eye opener for those who think domestic abuse doesn’t happen in gay relationships.

This is part one of a three part interview.

If you want to contact Hannah you can do so through the SafeSpace Vermont webpage.
